They called it the equivalent of a participation trophy. They don't want to see Seattle do a parade unless they win the ALDS at the very least.Given how long the Seattle Mariners' playoff drought was, they do deserve some recognition for the season they had. It was a huge accomplishment and a kickstart to what's ahead for this young team. You can't give them a parade, though, just because they made to the postseason.The Seattle Mariners' backs are against the wall heading to Game 3Division Series: Seattle Mariners vs. Houston Astros - Game 2.The Seattle Mariners face elimination heading into Game 3 of the ALDS. They're down 2-0 in the series against the Houston Astros. The third game will take place on Saturday in Seattle.The environment Saturday will be intense for a fan base that hasn't seen their team compete in the postseason at T-Mobile Park for a long time. Fans will probably make it as hard as possible for Houston to complete the sweep.The Astros will start Lance McCullers Jr. on the mound. He has only pitched in eight games this season as he was on the injury list for the majority of the season. His little experience this year could play into the hands of the Mariners.Seattle will start George Kirby on the mound. He has been solid for the Mariners this year, but he is a huge drop off from Luis Castillo and Robbie Ray. Seattle will need a quality start from Kirby if they want to take Game 3 from the Astros.With their backs against the wall, Seattle still need to play within themselves and not panic. They have what it takes to turn this series around.
